The answer is obvious...we need more Muslims over here.
Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Hindus, etc...all ok with Santa Claus. ONE GROUP not ok with Santa Claus, and he gets banned. Yet it's a religion of peace and Muslims actually wanna assimilate with everyone else.
The thing is American Christmas is for EVERYONE regardless of religious beliefs.
Why can't all these little subsets of society accept this and join the festivities?
Why does the majority have to kowtow to yet another liberal delusion?
We have no policies or directives around this issue, we merely want to remind staff that we need to create inclusive and welcoming spaces for all of our students and realize that many of our students — because of their religion, culture, or other beliefs — do not feel comfortable (and in many cases may not be allowed by their parents) participating in activities that are holiday-based or religious in nature, or being surrounded by imagery that is a direct affront to them,
Italics mine.
When I worked in elementary ed, I had a first grader whose parents did not let him participate in ANY holiday activities due to their religious practices. So while his classmates made jack-o-lanterns in Oct, turkeys in Nov, and snowmen in Dec, this six year old spent the time in another classroom doing math problems.

So one kid has to dictate the rest of the children's American holiday activities? I guess the parents should just homeschool their kid if they want to raise the Child that way....
An Oregon school district has asked staff to not use Santa Claus in their holiday decorations at school, saying it's a way to respect all religious beliefs.
"You may still decorate your door or office if you like, but we ask that you be respectful and sensitive to the diverse perspectives and beliefs of our community and refrain from using religious-themed decorations or images like Santa Claus," the Hillsboro School District said in a letter to staff.
So What kind of decorations WOULD be acceptable?
Oh, I know -- SNOWFLAKES! (As in special snowflakes.)
PC is a joke. So glad we stood up to the snobs & elected Trump. Tired of walking on egg shells around the feelings of the unreasonably hyper sensitive. How are these people going to react when life kicks them & nobody cares? Teaching others how to be tolerant by showing intolerance. We really need to get back to the basics & make it mandatory for everyone to learn farming & enlist in army for a year or 2 so that they can learn some discipline & hard lessons in life. People are becoming so fragile & childish. How will you learn to stand up to bullies & unexpected tragedies when you live in a protective shell? One setback in life & you will crumble into pieces for not getting your way all the time.
